The Subjects That Interest Society.


Paul Potter has retired from the editor

journal of New York Discussing jour
nalism with an interviewer, in answer to
the question: ''What are the subjects
that chiefly interest society" Mr.. Potter
said:
Scandal Gossip is immortal Writers
who imagine that woman is mere
creature of corsets and bustles misjudge
her. What she talks, that she wants to
read. And she does not talk fashions;
she talks gossip"
Then you believe that weekly paper
can live on gossips''
Entirely. There are women enough
in American society to support IL weekly
paper. And what are q large proportion
of our club men but old women-gossiping,
tattling, backbitings What a fashionable
woman wants to read is not the story Of q

Sebastian George, the amateur ''mind
reader, in q letter to The Boston Herald,
describing his remarkable gift, gives the
following as his theory as to how mind
reading is accomplished: "Whep my sub
ject sees an object it is not the eye that
sees, but the brain, using the eye as con-
ductOr. The more wildly anything Is
pictured before the eye the greater the
tremor of the brain, and the more certain
the mind of its object. The tremor estab-
lished In my subjects brain travels

his brain, and there again the object is re-
produced. With me it is certainly very
dim, but the real object is pictured there,
and I see with anOther's eyes. Then,
without contact, l receive the tremor

my nerves are in their most susceptible

Is no supernatural power about it what
ever; it is but plain, common sense
thing, which, however, we can not quite
fathOm. If a person is not looking at an
object, but making mental picture of it,
of course the idea gathered by the thought
revealer is not so distinct as when his eyes
are fixed upon it, as natural consequence.
When an object is hidden, there is double
work to do if the mind reader has had no
previous knowledge of what the article is
to be, but even then l will guarantee to
state emphatically whether it is the object
or not when it has been found, and in
nearly every case will tell what it is before
the search is ended. Exchange.

'oThere is, believe, only one nm IN
this city who receive oysters from the east
in the shell, and I'm under the impression

of the sort; or restaurant, hotel or some
body will want few shells. Why, sir, the
toniest affairs in this part Of the west
don't get shell oysters-they use second
hand shells. No one knows the differ
ence.
"You know the eye is always fastened
to the oyster shell, unless cut loose, and
no man back east who knows his business
will cut one loose, as that is proof Of its
being shell oyster, and those who really
do have shell oysters will allow the eye to
stick in order that the customer may be
assured that he is not being served with

they get is the old broken shells. which of
course answer the purpose. Blue Points,

be permitted to style its platitudes. hin
and vale, grove and pasture land disap-
pear as if by magic, and while tho train
steams along through the lagoons, you

unknown spheres. There Is no herbage On
the ground. No trees fling their shadows
sthwart the wastes. All is sea. and ali b
reddish sand on the shores Of the Adriatic.
Waves, more like those Of lake than
tidal. roll languidly along the strand
within few feet of the railway carrfage;
and there is certain subtle calm brood
ing over the desolate scene that renders
the mind pensive and carries : back 20
the time when all was life and hustle amid
these blue waters, when commerce. knew
no other rendezvous and industry no
other home than Venice; when trophies
from western isles and from far Oriental
chimes were waited hither in Venetian
argosies; when the city Of the doges was
the mistress Of the universe, and its glory
and eclat shone resplendently from lara
